Worst Part of The 2014 turtles designs
 

When I see people complain about the designs I usually hear 3 problems
1. The god awful faces
2. The ridiculous size
3. The crap they're wearing
Which one of these is the worst part of the designs to you.

All of the above.

Id say the clothes. Too much clutter on them.

^ Same goes for me. Though if I gotta choose, it's between their faces and size. They are quite the ugly little devils.

Don't you mean ugly giant devils .

Y'know what I mean.:lol:

I like the clothes and I like them being bigger than other versions, so I'll go with the faces. They are pretty ugly.

I will also choose D: All of the Above.

I'm going with the clothes. Size maybe, if it's more like size/strength.

It's all awful, but the biggest problem for me is their size. Their massive, 'roided-out, heavy body types totally fly against them being freakin' ninjas. They weren't remotely stealthy throughout the movie and it doesn't look like they're even capable of it. Making them super-strong, bulletproof behemoths totally undercuts their skill and makes the "Ninja" part of the title and concept irrelevant. Which is such an idiotic decision I can barely believe it.

The clothes I can deal with. Running around real life NYC, at the very least shoes make sense. (Which of course is the one damn thing Raph isn't wearing... Mr. Fat Feet there can't even fit an altered pair like Leo. lol) Even tough feet could be injured running around some city like that, and last thing you need when you lack access to medical care is a nasty infection. (Yes I'm applying real life to fictional characters that prob won't ever get hurt that way, I don't care. lol)

I'd say 'worst part' (imo) is somewhat a tie between size and looks. As I've mentioned before, I can deal with them being tall this once, the steroids however are overdone. I don't want them looking too scrawny - no matter what age the film tries to suggest, I like seeing them looking like they've grown up - but an intervention on the steroids is in order. And if not that... then at the very least the overbearing shell size; they're/were Sliders for Turtley sake.

Facial looks... *sigh* Varies. There are some shots of [some of] them that are decent enough, sorta, I guess (now that I'm used to this), even dare I say just a few that I kind of adore, but there are other shots of them that just...

All 3 parts are equally bad to me, each more "wrong" for the TMNT than the next. I can't settle on just one. Not tryna be Mr. Negative, that's just how I feel.

The superfluous clothing was the greatest sin of the three.
I just...the poor animators.

Can you imagine being the poor soul who spent day in and day out painstakingly animating all the doo-dads and thinger-ma-bobs the guys were wearing?

I almost want to start a collection to buy them a couple of cases of their favorite drink just...to try and help them take the edge off.

Damn, I was hoping I could pick all three, but ended up clicking just clothes.

There really should have been a D. All of the above.

The designs and heights of the turtles aren't that bad to me. They have the potential to represent an even darker, intimidating version that sadly will never reach that potential. Clothes and ninja shoes would make more sense if they're going for the design of a ninja. Ironically, I could see these guys wearing actual ninja outfits. Just fix the faces and get rid of Raph's shade and Mike sunglasses and I'm good.

THIS!!

They are way too big to be ninjas and the fact that they crushed a car just was way over the top for me. I dislike all of the above but the size really grinds my gears the most.

All three off' em. Although, if I had to choose... I'd say the size was the most jarring off the three, by a tiny bit.

I'd guess that stuff would be procedural animation, i.e. simulated. I do feel sorry for the animators though, because the designs and direction are out of their hands, so they work their guts out on something that is going to get crapped on.

Can you put an option for " all of the above" please. And a "noses" option to please Cybercubed.

The thing I disliked the most about the 2014 turtles was their size. It made it so they could just throw and punch The Foot out of their way instead of using ninjutsu to do so. The art of invisibility was made extremely harder for this version of turtles and they barely used their weapons because of their massive size and fighting style. And towards the end of the movie there is no realistic way they could have fit down in that manhole cover.

They are too big and too 'roid (especially raph and mikey).
The clothes are ok, but there are too much useless accessories.
Except for Mikey without his mask (Shrek is that you ?), their faces aren't ugly to me. I accept them for what they are : MUTANTS TURTLES

I quite liked the designs, but there was no "NONE of the above" in this poll, unsurprisingly...

Nor would there be one if the thread were titled "Best Part of The 2014 turtles designs". If you'd prefer focusing on strengths rather than weaknesses, create that thread.

The worst part in general is probably the faces. The faces are way too human for most tastes.

The worst individual part though must be Donnie's attire. I mean seriously, glasses and goggles? You can't wear glasses and goggles at the same time! And don't get me started on everything else that just looks tacky on him.

This sentence made my head hurt. :tconfuse:

Okay, I honestly didn't have "too big" of a problem with the Turtles. Criticizing the designs as a whole rather than each individual Turtle, the size bothered me the most. I liked the accessories, but I feel they didn't need as many as they had. It just made the CGI more expensive.

Criticisms for each Turtle:

Leonardo: Nothing really, to be honest. The only change I'd make is taking the bamboo stuff off his shell. Maybe the shoulder pads, too.

Raphael: I thought Raph was perfect, to be honest. Just shrink him a bit.

Donatello: Get that Ghostbuster thing off of his back, and get the glasses off, too.

Michelangelo: The face. This is the only Turtle face that legitimately bothered me because Mikey's face is so fat and it makes him look like a serial rapist.

^Then surely the fact that he kept hitting on Apri-wait no, Megan Fox, made that "serial rapist" aspect more prominent?

Hmm while I think Mikey is horrible without his mask, I don't know if I find him really cute (the baby blue eyes, his child attitude), or totally creepy (his harassment toward April, his "boner" aso..)

Mikey from IDW and 2012 is cute and adorable.
Mikey 2014 looks like something out of everyone's nightmares.

The size.

They look like a drunk Hulked-out Bruce Banner cosplaying as the Ninja Turtles. "HULK FAN!"

I voted for size because that was the most offensive of a bad bunch. Might have been faces, but Leo was okay so there was at least one redeeming face. The clothes, meh, I didn't hate them as much as I thought I would - Leo and Raph at least. Don was.... overly encumbered and Mikey was... well... a joke.

But the size was awful and frankly embarrassing. *shudder*

AAAAAAGGGHHHH!!!!! :o

all of the above

I have to say the size is what bothers me the most. They are teenages and ninjas so them being roided out makes no sense although I know the mutagen could be also what cause it.They looked so much better in the concept art where they was more slender. I like them to be 5'6 or shorter however because it makes them seem more as the underdog in fights also instead or just just punching a foot across a parking lot like The Hulk I rather see them us actual NINJA skills in fights which is less realistic with there massive size. They look bigger then me and I'm 6'3 and big which doesn't work for the TMNT formula IMHO.

Yeaaaah.... I haven't heard on the others, but Leo's supposedly about 6'5" while he's technically the second "shortest."

And, what, more than 2' wide at the shoulder? Not even sure if I'm kidding.

Is Donnie close to 7'?

Put me down as another vote for "all of the above". Trying to choose a worst part of the designs for this flick is like trying to pick the worst part of a rectal exam with your GP - everything about it is uncomfortable and you wonder why technology hasn't advanced to the point where the entire thing can be improved. :tlol:

The size. Never understood it. Like... why? ****ing why?

All of the above for me. The faces were just horrendous, the clothes weren't necessary and not conducive to them being ninjas with all that sh*t on, and their size was also horrible and made them indestructible which was unrealistic.

My guess is that they thought the heroes of an action movie being smaller than average humans seemed kind of silly. Granted I don't like how huge they are either, but I see why they made them bigger than usual.
